Summary

An annexation and rezoning request for 4.5 acres at 711 Old Dawsonville Road by 2 Little Hands Farms LLC was presented as a small-farm project offering homeschool farming classes; it will go to the planning commission March 4 and Ball Ground council for final action May 8.

Ms. Long presented an annexation and rezoning application for 2 Little Hands Farms LLC affecting 4.5 acres at 711 Old Dawsonville Road to be rezoned R42/AG. She said the project would operate as a small farm and offer farming classes for homeschool students and that the parcel would be heard by Cherokee County Planning Commission March 4 and then by the City of Ball Ground on May 8 for final approval.

Ms. Long noted engineering and fire/emergency comments: a sidewalk project along the frontage may affect future driveway improvements and potential commercial building plans would require review by the Fire Marshal's Office and county Director of Transportation. The board asked clarifying questions about the use and contiguity of parcels serving Ball Ground's growth boundary.

Staff said the parcel ties into existing holdings the applicant has in Ball Ground and could help fill undeveloped parcels within the city's growth area.
